Hi Tom,
The regular install bit is logged to /var/log/esx_install.log
However, if you want each step of your kickstart script logged you should be able to echo each bit out to a local file. If you want to know if each command was successful or not, then that would involve a bit more work. Should be do-able but would involve a bit of investigation.

Hi, is there a way, through which I can log all what is done by the kickstart file to a log file?
I am looked around and did not find much info on this.

Thanks
